This map, which I’ve released into the public domain, was created in Python using the GeoPandas, Folium, Selenium, and PIL libraries. The data was sourced from [the Census Bureau’s Shapefiles site](https://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/geo/shapefiles/index.php); it’s available within the ‘Urban Areas’ layer type selection.

The code used to create this map (which I’ve relaesed under the MIT License) [can be found here](https://github.com/kburchfiel/desktop_maps/blob/main/desktop_maps.ipynb). This Jupyter Notebook creates several other maps as well; these have also been released into the public domain. You can view previews of those maps by visiting [the main page](https://github.com/kburchfiel/desktop_maps/tree/main) for the GitHub project that stores the mapping code.
